Olives! We named my baby girl Olivia and I've been craving olives like crazy! (was a coincidence! We have had that named picked out for a while!) Went to the store and bought a jar and the bag ripped when I got home and shattered all over the road. I was in almost tears!

My only real craving this whole pregnancy has been ice. Especially since it's been hot here in L.A. for most of my pregnancy (it's been at least 90 degrees almost non-stop since July - got down to the 80s for a week or so, then went back up this week). I used to always order water with no ice. Now I only want cold drinks. And I want to chew the ice. I had mentioned it to my doctor and he wasn't concerned. So I've been totally giving in to it the past few weeks and I'll just get a big glass of ice water and chew on the ice (making sure I drink the water, too -- don't want to get dehydrated. Plus, the water helps make the ice small/weak enough to bite into.). I guess I should be glad I'm not craving anything fattening or bad for me. The only thing I have to worry about is chipping a tooth trying to crunch a piece of ice that's too big/hard.

Jello, and I don't eat it because of the gelatin =( I did buy a box though, because I might be caving in soon.

I feel ya when not pregnant I don't care for sweets to much but pregnant I am a sweet junkie! Both times so seems like thats my pregnancy weakness I just try not to cave to often and have other sweet substitutes on hand we also eat a ton of fruit in my house :)

Don't completely deny yourself that will just make the craving worse try either having a small portion of whatever it is or a healthy sweet snack! Good luck!

Well ideally snacks for me should be no more than 20 carbs so I thought I'd just look up a couple peanut butter smoothie recipes on the spark recipe site here and I barely found any with under 50 carbs per serving!!! Holy cow! So I'll have to do some experimenting on my own to see what I can come up with that has less carbs and then I'll share it with you guys :) but I did get some good ideas for ingredients to try in my smoothies there so I have more to play around with now.

Lol that totally sounds like something that would happen to me!!! I have been wanting ice cream and peanut butter lately I was thinkin of going to the store and getting like fat free sugar free carb free vanilla ice cream (gross I know) and then just blending that with peanut butter and a banana mmmm it just sounds fantastic well it would sound better with reg ice cream but thats alot of carbs/sugar so this other way is probably a safer bet as far as blood sugar is concerned ;)

Lately I have been on a McDonald's wild berry smoothie kick....which I guess could be a lot worse.!!! A medium size is only 260 calories so I can usually fit it in my meal plan pretty easily!!!

While watching T.V. I could go on and on about food!!!! All the commercials make the food look sooo good.......ESP Pizza Hut!!!! I definitely need to get there soon!

I'm going through the same I-could-eat-everything-in-sight-and-then-have-seconds phase right now too. Oddly, even though I've been eating more I haven't gained this week and my blood sugar has been good. I'm sure it will catch up to me eventually, but right now everything is way too yummy.

Wow steph, that is WAY too healthy to be craving while you're pregnant, ;-) hehe.

I'm really wanting pancakes. Since we've moved in the new house I haven't had time to make them and my DH doesn't like breakfast foods so I don't get to go out for breakfast. My MIL supposed to coming over next week for us to go shopping since It's going to be sooo much fun shopping for a little girl! :-D We'll go eat breakfast then. Sucks having to wait that long though. :-(

Ha ha..thanks for the morale booster. I did eat a huge bad breakfast today, but i blame it on a rough night. We are in a condo building and awoke to a massive water flood coming from a few units above. After an all-nighter, it's well worth the calories just this once!

Yesterday I was totally craving pancakes. It made me think of you and your crepes, Erica. Did you have some? I sent my DH out for some buckwheat pancake mix and had them for brunch yesterday. With my first I never sent him to the store when I had cravings but this time it's becoming a habit.

Lately, maybe it's because of the move or something but I've been wanting sausage, egg, cheese and tomato biscuits. I did have one this morning and MAN it was good! :-D I know they aren't good for me but I could eat that morning, noon and evening. I don't even want to know the calorie intake. I'm going to have to eat salads the rest of the day!

Yea I thought we needed a place to just talk about food food and nothing but food since it seems to be all I ever think about :)

I haven't thought about those micky mouse bars in so long! My favorite convience store ice cream is the twix ice cream bars they are awesome.

Eat some tums first maybe it will help with the heart burn :) I have had like a major aversion to meat this entire pregnancy so I'm so not on board with the chicken wings lol

OMG! This is perfect! I just got through eating a honeybun. I want another one! I've been craving them all day. Another thing I want to really bad but can't find it anywhere is that Mickey Mouse pop. With the chocolate ears and vanilla face. Oh man! I've stopped at 4 different places so far an no one has them. The grocery stores don't sell them so you have to luck up and find a gas station that has the ice cream freezer in it. All I've seen are sponge bob pops but I want Mickey Mouse. Hand't had one since middle school but I do remember seeing them in a store a while back I just don't know when/where. Probably when we went to the beach or something.

Yep, rolos. I like those too. My granny loved them so she'd always get them and split a roll when I was a kid. :-)
